In 1985 my first book, Stephanie’s Menus for Foodlovers was published and once I had found my voice there seemed to be no stopping me! My fifth book, The Cook’s Companion, in 1996, resulted from my growing belief that despite all the interest in restaurants and ‘fancy food’, we were raising children and young adults with little if any understanding of what to do with fresh food in their daily lives. The vindication of my belief has been the phenomenal success of this massive book. In October 2004 a completely revised and expanded version was published.
The Kitchen Garden Companion was published in 2009. This book is for all families, with the hope that many will want to garden together, cook together and above all, eat together.
My memoir A Cook’s Life was published in March 2012.
